Q&A for companies

There are two main types of consultancy in the management consultancy world:

Traditional management consultancies, which often provide excellent technical and/or strategic advice. But they are not excellent at implementing their solutions. And the value of the solutions is lost in day-to-day business. They also don't know how to really change a corporate culture, even though they often claim to be change and communication professionals
Change consultants who work with individuals and groups in organizations on soft issues. The term “consulting” is often misleading here, because in fact only training, workshops, coaching and the like are used. Management consulting does not really take place.

Combining both worlds and developing companies in their entirety, both professionally/strategically and culturally, is what we call “consulting 2.0”.

Perhaps the picture will become clearer if you browse through our sample projects. It is also worth taking a look at our own change management professional training course “Living Change” or simply joining us for a workshop or an unusual team training session, for example, to get a feel for exactly what what we do looks and feels like.

We do consulting 2.0, which means that we advise on content and strategy and at the same time work with you to ensure that the results are actually put into practice. Change management is just as important as the more traditional corporate consulting approach. 

We also provide many non-consulting services, particularly in the areas of change communication, new work architecture, change and learning software, and further training.

We work successfully with companies from a wide range of industries. We focus on financial services, technical companies, public organizations and pharmaceuticals & chemicals industries.

For ethical reasons, we do not work for the following industries/clients: armaments, petfood and animal trade, tobacco, alcohol, oil & gas, coal, nuclear fission, dictators/unjust regimes.

Differences to traditional management consultancies:

The most reputable consultancies primarily provide technical and strategic advice. For them, change is a clearly subordinate topic, if at all, which does not really fit into their own corporate culture. Their projects typically last a few weeks or 3 to 6 months. The implementation of their often excellent concepts is usually left to the clients themselves. We, on the other hand ...


Have not only understood rationally that change is crucial to success, but also live it with skin and hair - and combine it with high-quality professional and strategic work and an eye for the big picture
Involve our clients intensively in our professional-strategic consulting work, instead of essentially doing the work for them
Stay with clients until something has changed in their hearts and minds in the long term, usually 1.5 to 5 years

Differences to other change consultancies:

Our corporate culture lives and breathes change in a very transformational way. Strangely enough, this is rather unusual, but the cobbler often has the worst shoes
Most change consultancies are networks. This means that the consultants are mostly freelancers who rarely work together and bring with them approaches that are difficult to combine and fluctuating quality. It is difficult to put together an outstanding consulting and change support team from this. The basic idea of transformationality requires closeness, a long-term approach and important common goals and is therefore not a good fit for a network structure that involves a lot of distance and diverse interests and, from a systemic perspective, is more of a “cluster” than a “team” or a real community
We live a people model in which people are trained intensively over many years and developed both professionally and personally. Most change consultancies opportunistically use freelancers for projects who are not “home-grown”, which causes them to keep the investment in their training and development lower
We are not just a change consultancy, but the first fully integrated change company, also offering non-consulting services, especially in the areas of change communication, new work architecture, change and learning software, as well as training.

If there is a couch nearby, you are welcome to sit or lie on it at any time if you wish :o) However, our methods are not psychoanalysis or therapy and you do not lie down on the couch with us. Neither figuratively nor physically. Of course, change always involves changing the attitudes and behaviors of each individual. This requires you to open up personally and work on yourself, but of course only as far as you want to. You are always in control if you want to be. We are happy to support you in your further development, also with coaching. In everything we do, the principle applies: “Everyone may, no one must”.

For example, we don't (yet) manage any climbing routes beyond 8+, we certainly won't win against an association league team in soccer shirts and luckily we have a gardener for our office garden. Apart from that, we are above all not a specialist consultancy. We don't support clients with in-depth technical issues such as controlling, capacitors or IT. However, we know enough about business and technology to be able to make connections and fundamentally understand what the respective specialist project is about. This is important in order to be able to identify and take on our special tasks in the project.
